Dr. B. S. Bhalla	Rectopexy is a type of surgery used to treat rectal prolapse, where the rectum (last part of the large intestine) slips out of its normal position. This can cause rectal pain, discomfort, bleeding, and difficulty in passing stool. If your doctor has advised rectopexy, it means your condition is likely not improving with medicines or lifestyle changes. Yes, in most cases, rectopexy surgery gives good relief from rectal pain, especially if the pain is caused by prolapse or constant straining. After surgery, the rectum is fixed in its proper position, which reduces pressure and irritation in the rectal area. Many patients feel significant improvement in pain, bowel movements, and overall quality of life within a few weeks after recovery. However, it’s important to understand that full recovery takes time. You may still have mild pain or discomfort for a short time after surgery, which usually improves with proper care and healing. If there are other causes of rectal pain, like hemorrhoids, fissures, or inflammation, your doctor will need to treat them separately. Here are some benefits you may notice after rectopexy: Reduced rectal pain and discomfort Less straining during bowel movements No more feeling of “something coming out” Better control over stools (less leakage) To get the best results, follow your doctor’s advice after surgery. Eat high-fiber food, drink plenty of water, and avoid lifting heavy things. In short, rectopexy surgery is very helpful for people with rectal prolapse and related pain. You are likely to get good relief, but talk openly with your surgeon about your symptoms and expectations. A proper evaluation before and after surgery ensures the best outcome.
